The Pearl Jam 2016 Poster Experience!

Had I been at the Tampa show, that poster would have got a glance and a pass from me. The New Orleans poster by Pendleton is the only one of his that I would have bought had I been at the show. His artistic style just isn't for me most of the time. I'm baffled why the GCitizen poster of his is so coveted.... the band plays a concert in Central Park, and the visual link is a boxy recreation of the Manhattan skyline; in my opinion, that's like playing a show at the Gorge, and creating a show poster that depicts a cityscape minus any of the natural beauty of the Gorge......

Trying hard to keep myself from buying it. Better yet to come, save that money.

Isn't the new york skyline the draw of seeing a show in Central Park? It certainly isn't the sound or venue. At night you can't see anything but the skyline. After the show you felt like you were in a Law and Order episode walking through the dark park.

Just got a Tampa - hopefully I'm as lucky for a Lexington!!

Uggh, just bought 2 18" x 24" frames for the Lexington and MSG1 prints. Get home and find out the Lexington one is slightly larger than 18" x 24" @ 18.625" X 26".

I guess there's no choice but to custom frame the Lexington?

I'd suggest simply trimming the poster down to fit in your frame..... a pencil, meter stick, and a good pair of scissors should do the trick. It's a $35 poster ......

While you're at it, colour in the spots you don't like, and then forget the frame and just use thumb tacks!

...jk, but you could always get away with a 22 x 28 frame with a slim matting (1.875" on the sides, 1" top/bottom). I would likely do it custom, but that would be cheaper.

Considering the poster in question, you'd be trimming off 1" of white paper on the top and bottom edges running horizontal that has no part of the image on it - maybe you'd lose a smidge off the Ames tag on the bottom. It would be less than half an inch of white paper on the left and right sides running vertical, the difference would be negligible. The poster is going in a frame.

I bet the vast majority of posters sold at the shows end up full of thumbtack holes, crinkled, and thrown away after a few years. Have you watched how some people smoosh up these posters after they're out of line?!

Most likely, maybe just two of them, with tomorrow being Memorial Day. Got the first two drops, now I wait for MSG 1. That's the only other one I would like to have.
